Abstract
Sulfinpyrazone (Anturan) administered in therapeutic doses over a period of several weeks produced prolongation of platelet survival and reduced turnover but with little change in blood coagulation. The changes in platelet survival and turnover were associated with reduced platelet adhesiveness. It is therefore possible to affect platelet economy in man significantly, without producing corresponding effects on blood coagulation.
